If you've Replaced that stuff, then in most cases you should be all set, and you can start looking into fuel. Another suggestion, although it's not common, you could also test the fuel injector's to make sure they aren't clogged. Just a suggestion though. Let us know if replaceing the Fuel Filter helps

once you have located the fuel filter, let it be until you depressurize the fuel line. You can do it by either disconnecting the fuel pump or removing the fuel pump relay (fuel pump can be accessed via an access hole in the boot...has a bunch of screws that need to be undone, fuel relay is in the engine bay somewhere I forget). Once disconnected, start the car till it stalls or doesn't start at all, your fuel line is now depressurized. Raise the car and then undo the bolts on either end of the filter, one spanner on the filter and one spanner on the nut...make sure the spanners fit nicely on the nut or else you might round them, and that will cause more headaches. When you undo the bolts...make sure you have something to cover your eyes with just in case excess fuel leaks out onto your face (been there done that, no a pretty sight). If you want you can use a tin can to catch some of the excess fuel, if not let it go on the floor. About 100 - 200mL of fuel may leak. once it's slowed down leaking just remove the fuel filter from the holder and replace with new one. tighten the nuts up nice and firm, connect fuel pump and let the car prime (car still raised). see if there are any leaks over a minute or so. If none, drop the car down and start her up, check again for leaks.

Hopefully that helps mate...just be careful with getting fuel in your eyes...it burns like a mofo.
